Chapter 935 Dark Empire

Chapter 935: Chapter 935 Dark Empire

Generally speaking, once a ten-star force is established, as long as its Heaven Building Ladder almighty remains undead, this force can continue to exist indefinitely.

Of course, there are extreme situations where a Peerless Great Ability takes action, and without an Absolute Summit, it’s utterly impossible to resist. If one insists on resisting, it would only lead to their own destruction along with their forces.

But such situations are incredibly rare; even if not an Absolute Summit, if a Heaven Building Ladder decides to deceive, it can cause significant trouble for even ten-star forces that possess Peerless Great Abilities.

Therefore, unless there is a life-and-death vendetta or absolute assurance of utterly destroying the opponent’s Heaven Building Ladder, no all-out battle to the death typically occurs between two ten-star forces.

Now... this common knowledge has been overturned.

It’s important to note that it wasn’t just one ten-star force that was destroyed this time, but three!

What on earth is going on?

When indigenous ten-star forces are attacked, would the other two ten-star forces just stand by and do nothing?

Impossible.

So does that mean that even if the three joined forces, they would be flattened as well?

Hiss, this force is too terrifying.

In the entire Great Void Realm, everyone is discussing this matter.

Shi Hao is deep in thought. As Han Yuwei predicted a dark storm approaching, such a major event occurred. Could there be a connection between the two?

But he is currently not in the mood to worry about it, as he has reached the Peak of Step One and is ready to advance to Step Two.

Breakthrough first, worry about other matters later.

Shi Hao entered the Immortal Abode, a place of absolute safety for retreat.

Step one is to shatter the Saintly Position.

Without destruction, there can be no creation. To further Ascend to Saint Position, one must break the old and rebuild amid ruins.

Yet for most who Ascend to Saint Position, their understanding of rules is limited. Even if they break and rebuild the Saintly Position, it only maintains the previous level.

Then what is the point of breaking and rebuilding?

Shi Hao is full of confidence. Without hesitation, he disintegrates the Saintly Position, as he has accumulated enough understanding to create a more majestic one.

This process lasts for three days; the towering Saintly Position shatters, leaving only a foundation.

This is the seed.

Shi Hao begins to expand the foundation; understanding rules transforms into a cornerstone, expanding continuously.

Ten days later, Shi Hao stops.

He has done his utmost, reaching this point.

Alright, formally establish the Saintly Position.

He starts erecting the Saintly Position. This process slows down, and after another twenty days, a ten-zhang high Saintly Position takes shape, but it alternates between light and dark, seemingly illusory with no substance.

Step Two accomplished!

Next is to fill this Saintly Position with insights from rules, and once perfected, he will again shatter the Saintly Position to expand the foundation and build an even grander one.

Shi Hao opens his eyes and steps out of the Immortal Abode.

For safety’s sake, during his retreat, Weng Nanqing and others also stayed within the Immortal Abode. Who knows if Immortal Realm Great Abilities were not targeting them, deducing their location?

If they were killed or taken hostage without Shi Hao’s timely response?

Shi Hao does not want that to happen.

Safety first; everyone needs to cultivate anyway.

The Purple Gold Rat and Weng Nanqing are indifferent, only the Ox King is somewhat unaccustomed.

Born unrestrained, the Ox King loved freedom, roaming vast grasslands, riding when pleased—anyway, past events are hard to recall, but now it feels trapped in such a small place, almost going mad.

When Shi Hao finally leaves retreat, the Ox King is the most excited; it can finally go out.

Master, Niu Niu missed you!

They leave the Immortal Abode and immediately enter the Great Void Realm to gather the latest information.

On Talun Star, more information on the Great Sect that flattened three ten-star forces is emerging.

—They call themselves the Dark Empire, and have issued a worldwide proclamation: those who follow them will live, oppose them and perish. Any force that does not wish to be flattened must submit to the Dark Empire.

When the news broke, initially no one took it seriously.

This Dark Empire is truly arrogant, wanting to challenge the entire Universe with just one sect?

Who gave them the courage?

Bear in mind, the Universe has countless Heaven Building Ladders, and even Peerless Great Abilities number at least in the hundreds, if not thousands, since Heaven Building Ladders can live five thousand years, accumulated over generations, their numbers are surely not small.

How many Heaven Building Ladders can a mere Celestial Body produce, let alone Peerless Great Abilities?

Who dreams of sweeping the world? Impossible.

Yet this Dark Empire is not just all talk; they have been gearing up for war.

This leaves everyone puzzled. How can a mere sect or nation dare to go against the entire world? How brainless must they be to actually carry out such actions?

Three days later, further news spreads: the Dark Empire has boldly deployed troops in three directions, attacking Dragon Spring Star, Fierce Tiger Star, and White Sheep Star simultaneously.

The Star Domain Teleportation Arrays flash continually, and the armies swiftly invade these three celestial bodies, inciting large-scale battles.

Everyone is waiting for the outcome; merely four days later, news arrives.

The Dark Empire has achieved a major victory!

What.

Upon receiving the news, everyone’s first reaction is disbelief. How could this be possible?

Dragon Spring Star and the other two celestial bodies are all home to ten-star forces, yet the Dark Empire, even when dividing their forces, managed to annihilate three celestial bodies?

Hiss, how terrifying must this force’s foundation be?

How many Heaven Building Ladders do they possess?

However, wherever the Dark Empire’s iron hoof treads, all is obliterated, leaving no survivors, and the details of the battles are unknown to anyone. It’s only visible that in places conquered by the Dark Empire, dense black clouds hover overhead, a very apparent characteristic.

This has caused a massive stir in the starry sky. No force dares to take the Dark Empire’s proclamation as a joke anymore and treats it with utmost seriousness.

One ten-star force after another unites to form an alliance, helping whenever there is trouble.

Joking aside, even when Ding Lingfeng was invincible in the mortal realm, he did not intend to unify it entirely. Who under him has the strength or ability to claim such a qualification?

Absolutely not allowed.

It’s said that there are teams of Great Abilities assembling to secretly venture into the Dark Empire’s territory to find out what kind of force it is and how many Heaven Building Ladder Great Abilities it truly possesses. It cannot all remain vague, after all.

However, these Great Abilities’ actions are confidential, and their timing and target location won’t be spread in the Great Void Realm; when there are specific outcomes, these Great Abilities should probably have completed their mission and returned.

So now, it’s just a waiting game.

Shi Hao exits the Great Void Realm, stroking his chin.

Look at how impressive they are, wanting to plant the empire’s flag throughout the Universe, while he, on the other hand, cannot unify even a small Celestial Body.

Tsk tsk.
